BBC Makes Major Doctor Who Decision - but It Is Not the One Fans Expected

  • The BBC released the first trailer for the Doctor Who spinoff The War Between the Land And The Sea, expected in 2026 on BBC and Disney+ internationally.
  • This spinoff centers on UNIT's efforts to protect Earth from a redesigned Sea Devils threat during the Doctor’s absence, following the unexpected regeneration of Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor into a new form portrayed by Billie Piper.
  • The series, running five episodes, features characters such as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Colonel Ibrahim, Shirley Ann Bingham, Salt played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Barclay played by Russell Tovey.
  • Billie Piper expressed that being invited to return to the TARDIS was an offer she couldn’t say no to, but she left fans eager to find out who she’ll be playing, when she’ll appear, and how the story will unfold.
  • Alongside this, the BBC announced a new Doctor Who pre-school animated series for CBeebies, aiming to expand the Whoniverse despite uncertainty over the main show's future.
